I think, it's more about the therapist as a person than the type of therapy they practice that makes a difference. Psychoanalysis is practiced differently by different people. There are some practitioners like the ones you've described who just sit there and don't say much, but there are those who are more engaged and give you their perspective and explanations of why things are as they are. This applies to every kind of therapy. While therapy approaches are different, two different therapists can work with the same approach in drastically different ways or they may not follow their chosen approach closely at all, and so you'd get completely different experiences.

So, if I were you, I'd just ask each prospective therapist about how they work and would tell them what I need from them. Then pick the one who fits your requirements best.
